Riots, A Different Perspective – Religion and Politics
Will groups like Black Lives Matter be able to woo others by disseminating information that later proves to be entirely false, or at least, largely flawed? Maybe for a time, but in the long run, I would argue this is not likely. So why do this? Because the reality is, there are relatively few valid instances those folks are actually able to claim. Does that mean they don’t have valid complaints? Not at all, just that the number of their issues is relatively small. This points to the idea that the concerns cited are not systemic.

Law and a Living Wage – Religion and Politics
You may think the idea of a government mandated minimum or living wage is reasonable. As for me, I don’t. You can see from what I’ve said in this article why that’s the case. Do you have ideas to make things “better?” I’d be willing to hear them. Keep in mind though, I’ve heard more than a few, and people far more intelligent than me, have likely heard a good many on top of the ones I’ve encountered.

An Informed Electorate – Religion and Politics
Do you think things are bad politically at present? Are you concerned about the direction in which America appears to be headed? If we don’t strongly grab hold of knowing who’s running, as well as history and the meat and potatoes of political ideologies, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

COVID-19 – By the Numbers – Religion and Politics
Considering the data cited, I really have to question the current responses to COVID-19. Am I truly alone in having a reaction like this, or is it far more common than typically gets reported?

On The House – Religion and Politics
For my part, I think we’ve become confused. To begin with, at no point did the government of the U.S. or any of its subordinate entities become responsible for cradle-to-grave care of its citizens. On top of that, despotism is about taking control, can people honestly not see that’s what folks in government are currently doing?

Income Inequality – Religion and Politics
The basic point of this little writing is, the argument ought not to be “defunding the rich.” It ought rather to be, making sure that Americans are able to get jobs or find ways to make a living, that give them enough income to be happy with their lot.

Consequences – Religion and Politics
Did your parents ever say to you, “Make good choices!”? You should understand how wise a thing this was for them to utter, considering its simplicity. The result may not always be good, but most of the time, you can bet it will be. As stated, the converse is also true. Make bad choices, and you’ll typically reap bad results.

Police Versus Rioters – Religion and Politics
I’m willing to hear that law enforcement is acting badly when it occurs. I’m even willing to say it’s institutional or systemic when it is—something I don’t see as a rule. Are you willing to find fault with looters, rioters and protesters? I certainly hope so.

COVID-19 and Alarmism – Religion and Politics
You may think what’s being done about COVID-19 is reasonable. What you should understand is, many don’t. To top it off, it’s literally unprecedented. We have viral outbreaks, if they’re as serious as the Spanish ‘Flu was, they should be handled in more radical ways. For COVID-19, I’ve yet to see any proof it’s all that serious. And before you point to the death count, keep in mind we have seen worse, and mismanagement was part of the reason for it being so high.

Critical Race Theory? – Religion and Politics
Personally, I don’t believe our traits and abilities are a matter of race. There’re things that are innate, and others that are heavily practiced. Our race, I think, has little to do with that. Want to excel? Work on the important things over which you don’t presently have command.
